Dozens of dogs rescued from eastern Ky. home

Animal rescuers are caring for dozens of dogs discovered in an eastern Kentucky home.

A Leslie County man says he started taking in and caring for stray dogs, but it didn't take long for just a few to turn into a few dozen.

He called the Cumberland valley animal hospital, saying he had 80 dogs he could no longer take care of.

The Homeward Bound rescue group in Laurel County stepped in to help the animal hospital.

“It is astonishing how quickly a litter of puppies begin to have their own puppies and it just gets out of control so quickly," said Christina McCreary with Homeward Bound Rescue. “I don't think they're able to realize problem until it’s too late.

The man isn't facing any charges because he took good care of the animals.
